Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood Part 1 DVD Review

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is a remake of the popular Full Metal Alchemist series, this time designed to more closely follow the manga's storyline. The original series got through about the first season before they were fully caught up with the manga, and the animators/writers opted to strike out on their own rather than wait for more material from the manga to continue. The result is a second season far different from the path of the manga. Not that it was bad, just different.

Brotherhood seeks to fix this and is designed to be completed right as the manga reaches its conclusion. Funimation have been simulcasting the Brotherhood series on their digital distribution site though only in sub format due to the length of time it takes to redub a series, so dub fans (such as myself) have had to wait for the DVD release to get our fix. This boxset contains the first thirteen episodes of the series.
